The British official Disney website has a trailer for the today’s return of Aladdin to DVD just 4 years after the Special Edition. Renamed Musical Masterpiece edition the film is turned into one long sing-a-long-song film complete with on screen lyrics, downloadable song and a lyrics book. Available for a limited time only and for sale through the regular channels.
Notice this is a U-K only release and no word if and when this version will be sold in other countries as well. The Aladdin DVD site at disney.co.uk/DisneyVideos/aladdin/main.html has details what to expect on this disc, in short nothing we haven’t seen before. The games and activities are carried over from the special edition and at least part of the extensive making of documentary is woven in the Fun Fact Trivia Pack. Overall the site seems to be a slightly altered version of the 2004 website.
The Fun Zone is a small desktop program that gives the user access to an Printable Aladdin Party Pack, old wallpapers and jubilee game. Fun to try once but the application offers little to keep it around for a longer period.

The header image above of Aladdin and Jasmine horseback riding to the sunset is the latest addition to my Aladdin Puzzle Collection. The puzzle counts 30 large pieces good for a couple of minutes fun while assembling. It’s made by the unknown France manufacture Carrefour and includes a poster. The header is actually made from said poster because lots of folds I couldn’t correct them enough to make a decent wallpaper. I wasn’t happy how The Seven Faces of Genie header anyway.

I simply can’t let this one pass by without making a note about it. While I love most bad guys in the Aladdinverse one way or another it is Chaos who makes it in my top 5 for being a cat (cat lover here) his quirkiness, humor and simply being the most powerful feline I’ve seen in a cartoon.

Over at DA user stormyrogue shows a real pretty drawing of Jasmine based on a popular Princess wallpaper I scanned a while ago. Actually looking back, he might have even surpassed the original. I am glad that she gave me credit for putting the source file online. It is way too often I see art at DeviantArt based on coloring pages or wallpapers I put online. It’s not that I own the copyright but is it to much to ask to link to the source file? I think not.
